Hello!

yes, finally, its time to blog again! :)

i am currently feeling very full - still, but am rather contented, hence i shall blog.. :)

so, i went to Hai Tien Lo today.. nice little place at Pan Pacific. as you can see, the view from the restaurant is unobstructed! and we were there, well, just before the sunset!


ok, that was my dad looking through the menu very hard. in the end, he asked me to decide anyway -.-"

the tea my sis ordered. was so ex! but really good stuff i must say!

and the first course! MMMMMM... pan fried foie gras with peking duck skin! :D firstly, i really love duck, and secondly this was heavenly!

ok quite a gross picture. nothing like how it tastes.. but the crispy skin and the fatty liver is just.. :O

the next dish was garoupa in crab roe with crab meat. i love how the crab meat's taste is damn strong and tasty! it went really well with the fish!

and then, their signature HTL Hand Made Tofu or some other really long name. yes, its damn nice. the tofu is so soft inside, it wobbles like mad. yet the skin is just nice, crisp and fragant!

ostrich meat in some honey and pepper sauce. this one was unique, but i couldn't quite taste the ostrich meat though. the honey and pepper sauce was good, and the meat was really tender. but then again, after having ostrich meat on many occasions, i still dun know what it tastes like, so maybe its just a good medium to coat yr sauces on :p

and i was stuffed to the brim by the time my dessert came. ice cream in avocado cream. the avocado cream was absolutely thick and fresh.. the whole mixture just made u forget u were even full.. haha. didn't picture or taste my parents' desserts cuz i was too engrossed in my own! :(

and then my sister's came. it is lei sha tang yuan. yum! chewy tang yuan skin with peanut paste inside and nice flaky peanut coating... :) and it was nice and warm when it came, and when u bite into the inside and taste the warm filling, it is just OOH!

and the sun had set when we left to a satisfying meal :) OH, this reminds me. during dinner, i spotted this batman like light - it was this really bright spot light, and it was shining words on the buildings around, buildings such as the Swisshotel, Suntec City, Pan Pacific etc etc.. you know anything tall in tt area. and the words went "Beware the god." it was really strange, and it was coming from the plot of land opposite shaw, which i believe is government owned, but i might be wrong.


ok, damn lousy picture of the flyer and this golf course or what it is tt is beside the flyer.. damn a lot of super bright lights. lastly, i must commend the restaurant on the service. always smiling patient, and very helpful.. :)

and this was another mouth watering meal.. :D this was at Inagiku.. posh little jap restaurant, again with very good service. i had the Tokuju Chiraishi Sushi set during lunch. basically, its the chef's recommendation of sashimi for that day over sushi rice.. :) ok first, this was my starter, i have no idea what sauce it was.. but it was good.

this is their other speciality, tempura. apparently, the flour is specially imported from japan, but i am not a huge fan of tempura, and i didn't try it. haha

ok, here comes my chiraishi!! this picture can't do it justice! i swear. haha. u can't see the lovely colors and well, obviously, u wun know tt is damn fresh, which it is!! the uni, see tt lovely lump of brown next to the crab pincer, was so huge and just absolutely dissolves into your mouth. Mmmm. so good. ok, sadly, i dunno what fish i was eating. but there were 3 different types, and i suspect i have not really ate any of them before.. except maybe the light pink one which tastes like swordfish. but they were really so well sliced and are sooo fresh, i just gobbled them up. haha. then, there were japanese clams, buried under the fish i think, and a long slice of unagi. this unagi is seasoned v well. u can taste the flesh v well, unlike the usual terriyaki sauced kind, which i hate cuz u just taste terriyaki sauce.. and then, the huge ebi, which is rather different than the small shrimps we usually get. and yeah, the gigantic crab claw which is not as impressive as the rest, but probably would be excellent if i ate it on its own. haha.

and the rice itself was so good. little salmon bits mashed in.. see the pink stuff, and random other things.. jap pickled ginger maybe? and other really flavorful stuff!

yes, and then there was some clear soup with loads of seaweed like stuff inside and i forgot what else.. but yes, good stuff. haha. and to end off, fruits, and green tea chocolate. haha, this green tea chocolate is really good. green tea flavor pouring out, and creamy smooth chocolate to end of a wonderful experience.. :D

ok, too tired to blog about the other stuff. another time! bye
